Rihanna has been linked to some of the biggest stars in the industry from Drake and Chris Brown. So it’s safe to say she knows a bit about heartbreak. Now, she’s sharing some knowledge with a fan.

The fan wrote her a question about it in Rihanna’s Direct Messages on social media.

They asked, “Hey Robs… how did you get over your first heartbreak? I’ve been struggling…”

To their most likely surprise, the singer actually responded.

“Just believe that the heartbreak was a gift in itself! Cry if you have to, but it won’t be forever! You will find love again, and it will be even more beautiful! In the meantime enjoy all that YOU are!!!!!”

The fan responded with, “Thank you, I love you…”

He shared more of his relationship history with BuzzFeed shortly after.

“It was my first relationship ever, and they ended it with me in January, but it’s been really hard for a multitude of reasons,” he confessed. “I reached out to Rihanna because she’s given me advice many times — she’s wise. Lol.”

One of her biggest heartbreaks was her breakup with Brown. The two were going strong until the fateful night he physically abused her. While that was eight years ago, the drama of that evening continues to surface in headlines amid rumors that Brown and Rihanna could be getting back together. In fact, they did for a brief moment in 2012 despite his then relationship with Karrueche Tran. But it might be safe to say the two are done for good. It looks like Rihanna used her own advice in this situation and has been able to move on. She was later connected to Drake, who announced his love for her in public several times. It’s not clear what the status of that potential relationship is.
